ETS-Lindgren
Just this past November I went live with this new site. ETS-Lindgren is a world-wide company with offices in several locations in the US, Europe and Asia. The site needed to be scalable and agile for growth including multi-lingual support in the future, accomodate a diverse product offering, User-friendly URLs, RSS for news feeds and a CMS for distributed editing. Visit ets-lindgren.com to see more.
This site will very soon be expanding to encompass four major regions: the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Asia. What started out as a small event last year is growing in size and scope. This year I had the opportunity to rework the site to better accommodate this new ongoing series of workshops. Check out techtoursite.com to see more.
Probably one of the best uses for Flash is for tours and touch-screen kiosks. I revamped and developed a series of flash product tours for the website and trade shows. Check out some of the tours at ets-lindgren.com/producttours.
CedarRidgeChurch.net
This site has just been up a few weeks and will continue to go through development. This past weekend I posted the first podcast of a Sunday message by a guest speaker. The site is initially clean and simple in its design, but it was a fairly quick way to get up and running with a functional site that the church needed. I used a WordPress install and tweaked the site to suite. Check out cedarridgechurch.net to learn more.
My goal is always to develop a site that serves the needs of the client well. Whether it’s for my employer, such as ETS-Lindgren, or for my church, CedarRidge. Clean, well-designed sites serve the organization in the long-run and help them succeed in their message. If you are in web design for personal expression, then a blog like this is a great place for it. But professional development and design requires dedication to put the interest of your client above your own. I think if more web designers and developers followed suite, the web would be a better place. (Ok, I’m off my soapbox now).
This was a special event site for a conference here in Austin this past Fall. It was fun to develop because it involved taking a limited site and reworking it to be more full-featured for the event. The site is no longer active on the web.Concordia University at Austin
I worked for five and a half years at Concordia University at Austin. Concordia was a great place to work and experiment with new technology. While there I developed a Content Management System for the School, did a good amount of Flash development and had the opportunity to take photos to fuel the design work. This site concordia.edu was developed as a home-grown CMS in Coldfusion.
Probably my most prestigious work to-date. I worked with an assistant and the admissions department to really improve the quality of the admissions site. The NRCCUA, The National Research Center for College University Admissions ranked the site in the top 3% out of 3,000 sites nationally. The site was awarded a top ranking again this year. Pictured here is a groovey flip book of a tour of Austin. Check out discover.concordia.edu especially if you are looking for a good place to go to school!
